design being 3x4. The old flag is my vector image made with a

Doylestown Township selects its bicentennial flag
To help boost township
pride as it marks its 200th anniversary, Doylestown Township called on its
residents and neighbors 10 months ago to help do so with a public design
contest. The township has selected a design for its official new and improved,
bicentennial township flag. Supervisors announced the winner at the Aug.21
meeting. The Doylestown Township bicentennial flag selection winner is Mike
Cuomo.
In describing his design to a sizable crowd, Cuomo, a college
student, said he stuck with a three color design using green, gold and blue.
“The green represents purity in nature, which the township has a lot of. I think
the blue represents pride. And the gold represents prosperity,” Cuomo said. He
said he chose the oak tree seedling as the township is the largest producer of
those trees. He chose the wheat to the represent the large agricultural
influence Doylestown has had throughout history. He chose the three stars to tie
in with our place in America and what we’ve done to serve our country.
Cuomo’s was chosen from a field of 63 entries that were studied by a panel of
judges including, Lyons, chair; Ken Snyder, supervisor, Mary Lou Parry,
Bicentennial Committee, Ted Feldstein, Bicentennial Committee, Bill Minazk,
resident, Alan Fetterman, resident, and Stephanie J. Mason, township manager.
